Hey, this is pancakes are awesome. This is my new story based of Once Upon A Time's newest couple, Red and Mulan. Hope you guys enjoy it!
Some changes I might add to this story are;
Henry won't be as innocent, cause let's be honest, the kid is fifteen (Jared's age) and what fifteen year old doesn't know about things like sex, drugs, curse words, and social media. Also what fifteen year old isn't dirty minded.
I don't know if I'm going to have OutlawQueen. I just don't get the pairing, but that is for a different conversation.
Also, just because I won't have OQ doesn't mean I won't have CaptainSwan because I like/understand them together. Yes, I am a SQ shipper who likes CS, sue me.
I don't know what I'm going to do with Rumbelle yet cause I still after all these years absolutely completely don't like them together.
Red will also be able to turn at will and not just on a full moon.
Chapter One
The two have set up camp on the outskirts of what used to be Snow's castle. They had gone hunting, had their tent up (a going away present from Merida), and had a fire going. It was like any other day for the two.
Red sat by the fire silently watching Mulan as she skinned the doe they had caught. Mulan had taken off her armor and was left in a black undershirt and her pants. Her hair was pulled back out of her face into a ponytail. There was a look of concentration across her face, eyebrows slightly pulled together and bottom lip jutting out just a bit.
"Why do you insist on staring?" Mulan asked, pulling Red from her thoughts. Red got up from her spot, "Because you're beautiful."
Mulan's cheeks became flushed. Comments like these were often directed at the beautiful Asian from Red. She couldn't help it, her brain rarely had control over her mouth. But it's not like it this was unusual.
About a week or so ago, Red and Mulan had been walking through the forest when they had suddenly heard a howl. Red instantly became excited and turned to Mulan.
"Did you hear that? There's another wolf out here!" Out of complete joy and excitement Red had grabbed Mulan and kissed her, right on the lips.
They had some silent agreement not to speak about it. But ever since that day things have been different between the two, walking closer together, occasional holding of the hands, kisses on the cheek that are probably way too close to the mouth to be 'just friends' kisses. Still they never spoke about it.
Later that night after the two had ate their fare share of venison, they poured water onto the fire and laid on the ground looking at the stars. Mulan was pointing out constellations and telling Red the story behind them.
"And that one is the Huntress. She was an immortal hunter of the goddess Artemis. Legend says that her goddess had been captured by the titan Atlas. The Huntress, against her orders, went looking for the goddess. When she finally found her, she was able to set her free but at the highest cost, her own life. As a thank you Artemis had put her in the sky to be immortal forever." Mulan turned her head to see Red already staring at her.
"You're a great storyteller." Red complemented. Mulan could feel Red's breath on her lips. "Thanks." Brown met green and nothing else seemed to matter.
Slowly, the two leaned in. Mulan stopped mere centimeters from Red's face, "Are you sure?" Instead of answering Red leaned in closing the gap between the two.
Mulan swears her heart stopped when Red's pushed their lips together.
The kiss was slow, like any other first kiss. Red had her hand on Mulan's cheek, while Mulan had her hand on Red's waist. Eventually, they pulled apart.
"Red will you my girlfriend?" Mulan asked, barely above a whisper. She couldn't believe that kiss actually happened. Now, that it's over Mulan knew what was going to happen. She would ask Red out, Red would say 'no, she didn't feel the same', and then Mulan would have to leave due to another broken heart.
"Yes." Red whispered back
Mulan layer there shocked, "What?" Red giggled, "I said yes. I'll be your girlfriend."
"Wait, really?" Mulan asked one more time to be sure she heard correctly.
Red shook her head, laughing lightly. "Yes Mulan, I'll be your girlfriend."
A smile crept onto Mulan's face. She leaned into Red again. Red's lips tasted like a mix between venison and strawberries, which was surprisingly pleasant. As the two continued to kiss, Red rolled them over so Mulan was laying on her back and Red was straddling her. Red also took it upon herself to deepen the kiss. Her tongue entered Mulan's mouth and she swears she died and went to heaven.
The two had to pull apart due to lack of oxygen. But Red soon kissed Mulan again.
"We should stop, we have to get up early tomorrow." Mulan said between kisses.
Red pulled back and got off of Mulan. "You're right." She said as she had for the tent. "Wait, up!" Mulan quickly got up and followed Red.
That was the beginning of their relationship.
~~ 2 Weeks Later~~
It's been a month and three weeks since they left DunBroch. In those past several weeks the two have become best friends, and more. The two have been officially dating for only two weeks but an outsider would have thought they have been together for years.
They had a routine. In the mornings the two would wake up next to each other, Mulan ready to start the day and Red trying to convince her to stay in bed (to which Mulan would say yes because she can't say no to Red's pleading green eyes). Then when the tow do finally do get up, Mulan cooks what's left of yesterday's hunt, while Red watches her like she's the world. After, eating they would pack up and walk for about half the day before setting up camp. Then, Red would shift (after being under the witches thrall, Red found she could change at will and not only on a full moon, much to her enjoyment) and go hunting while Mulan stayed behind and figure out where they were headed next. Red would then return with a buck or doe in her jaws, Mulan would already have a fire started. After Mulan cooks and they eat, the two would lay on the ground and look at stars. Red would fall asleep while Mulan told her a story about a constellation and Mulan would carry her into the tent, where they both fell asleep, Mulan's arms wrapped around Red's waist. Today had started like any other day but the women were in for a big surprise.
